Have you never started working on reports or projects only when the deadline approaches? To be clear, I'm not saying ADHD people are immune to stress during crisis, but they thrive on that to an extent, because a normally dull task suddenly becomes exciting when there is a consequence to not doing it within a certain period of time. Not all crisis are suitable for ADHD people, I think. They do shut down when they come across certain crises that only creates dread without the benefit of creating excitement.

You're underestimating the ADHD hyper focus duration. As long as the problem is interesting, ADHD people can hyper focus on one problem and only that problem for days/weeks at a time until they solve it, or the problem gets boring, or they find a different shiny thing. Creating/inventing a jade stone tool is exciting. You can spend days trying to make it just perfect, finding ways to sharpen it that others don't know; that's an ADHD person's cup of tea. However once you make the first tool, it's no longer interesting. You move on to hyper focus on something else.

Yeah that two finger chi blocker symbol she drew cracks me up for some reason.

I think ADHD ancestors could have been innovators and problem solvers who dove heads down hyperfocused into some problem while the others hunted and gathered. They can also be helpful during crisis because their mind gets right into problem solving mode in any crisis. Similarly, I think OCD ancestors might have been good guards/trouble spotters since they're drawn to order and patterns to a great extent.

Avelon was great for iOS. I'm using Android now, and Summit is great.

Why are people doing this, knowing people have died because of this?
